Friday Finish and Cover Girl Quilt

This week I spent quite a bit of time quilting the project I shared a peek of in the previous post. The good news is that my lines are getting straighter as I work my way out of the center of the quilt. And thank you for the words of encouragement!

I also finished the second Charlie Brown tree skirt:

The pattern is a modification of this one by Nite Owl Quilting. I used the Peanuts Gang Stripe to make the outer border. This changed the dimensions a little, making the tree skirt a little bigger overall. Simple but effective. And it makes my husband happy.

Another finished project from my First Year quilting is the Log Cabin I have posing with my kayak in my banner picture. I chose this quilt for this honor as it was the first one I did without a pattern (how badly could I mess up a log cabin?).

Kasey loves my quilts too!

PS Does Thanksgiving seem early to anyone else but me? I am thankful I have a family that insists on the SAME menu each holiday...makes the prep so much easier!

Hi Kathy, I am a year later to comment on this quilt but I am just visiting now (after you left a comment on my blog). I love this quilt - good choice for the blog header. Simple, but effective. Like the numbers print, quilting, the traditional red centre, everything!
